Is the monitoring for Subject 3 reviewed on the same day?

Subject 3 examination sites are not monitored, but each vehicle is monitored. Since Subject 3 is a road test, the examination takes place on public roads, and each vehicle is equipped with cameras to observe the performance of the examinees. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Subject 3, also known as the road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. Test Content: The road driving skills test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed, but generally includes: preparation before starting, starting off, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night.
Let's talk from the perspective of our driving practice. That time when I took the Subject 3 test, the entire process was recorded on video. But after finishing the test and waiting for the results, the examiner said they wouldn't review the surveillance footage immediately that day—it would all be recorded and archived. Within the following few days, the examiner or instructor would carefully check for any rule violations, such as not following the prescribed route or running a red light. I heard the main reason is that sometimes there are many people taking the test, making real-time review impossible due to the workload. Additionally, reviewing the footage requires a comprehensive assessment of the test performance to ensure fairness. However, the results are usually sent via text message on the same day or the next day. As for the specific details of the surveillance, you can ask the instructor later. Everyone feels nervous during practice, but don't worry too much about the progress. The key is to master the movements well—safety comes first, after all.
I've been a driving instructor for many years. The monitoring videos for Subject 3 are usually processed within one working day after the exam. The test center's system automatically records and stores them, and examiners or backend staff review them in batches—it's not designed for same-day viewing. This is clearly stated in the regulations: the recordings are archived as evidence in case of examinee complaints or cheating reviews. For example, some test centers have multiple cameras, resulting in large data volumes that take time to process—getting basic results the same day is already good. After the exam, it's best for examinees to be patient and simply ask their driving school or instructor for feedback. During practice, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the routes. The monitoring mainly checks safety details in driving, so don't let it affect your performance.
